Coattail effects and turnout: Evidence from a quasi-experiment.  Arenas Jal, Andreu Eleccions Sociologia electoral Elections Voting research All over the world, a very large number of elections take place concurrently with other elections for representatives in different government tiers. A crucial question for understanding electoral outcomes in those elections is the existence of electoral spillovers or coattail effects. Causal identification of coattail effects is challenging because popularity shocks typically affect parties in both concurrent elections. This paper exploits a quasi-experiment—the ban of a party in only one of the concurrent elections—to estimate coattail effects. The results show that a 1 pp decline in electoral support for a party in a given election reduces its support in the concurrent election by 0.25 pp. This comes along with a decline in turnout of the same size in both elections 2025-06-17T11:01:58Z 2025-06-17T11:01:58Z 2024-01-10 2025-06-17T11:01:58Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1177/20531680241229930 Research & Politics, 2024, vol. 11, num.1, p. 1-9 https://doi.org/10.1177/20531680241229930 cc-by-nc (c) Arenas Jal, Andreu, 2024 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Articles publicats en revistes (Economia)
